The newest version of Hobson, 0.10.0, is now publicly available. There are a lot of changes in this release including:

Added "Home" and "Away" modes to the hub.

Added WebSockets support so web UI updates are immediate rather than delayed by 5 seconds.

Added support for long-running, complex plugin and device actions.

Added ability to disable tasks.

Added support for manually deleting existing devices.

Created new plugin for Pushover notification service.

The Hobson runtime now persists meta-data about all published devices so plugins can obtain device information even if the device hardware is unavailable (e.g. sleeping nodes).

Hub authentication and authorization are now managed by an independent plugin. This allows third parties to create custom plugins to support different identity stores and authorization implementations.

Added device tagging API endpoints.

Simplified event subscription model for plugins.

Improvements to OpenID Connect implementation.

Improvements to plugin and device configuration validation.

Improvements to device availability tracking and reporting.

REST API documentation is now in Swagger format and can be accessed directly from the Hub.
